Padova Summer School - Mimesis and Composition: Anthropological Perspectives on Technology and Art

                This is a first announcement of the Second Padova Summer School on 
<br>Philosophy and Cultural Studies of Technology -- „Mimesis and 
<br>Composition: Anthropological Perspectives on Technology and Art“ 
<br>(September 14 to 19, 2o2o).
<br>
<br>The making of a humanly built world involves many ways of weaving and 
<br>drawing things together, of joining and splitting, molding and fitting. 
<br>These, broadly speaking, mimetic and compositional procedures serve not 
<br>only the creation of artefacts but define relations to people and 
<br>things, form social bonds. Through them, we have been making and 
<br>remaking ourselves - inviting perspectives from archaeology, cultural 
<br>and cognitive anthropology, history and philosophy of technology, art 
<br>theory, media studies, and STS.
<br>
<br>Featured guest speakers: Tim Ingold (anthropology, Aberdeen) and Maria 
<br>Muhle (philosophy, aesthetic theory, Munich) - The core faculty 
<br>includes: Natascha Adamowsky (Cultural and Media Studies, Siegen), 
<br>Jacopo Bonetto (Archaeology, Padova), Marcello Ghilardi (Archaeology, 
<br>Padova), Fabio Grigenti (Philosophy, Padova), Kevin Liggieri (Philosophy 
<br>and History of Technology, Darmstadt), Alfred Nordmann (Philosophy, 
<br>Darmstadt), Oliver Schlaudt (philosophy, Heidelberg, and cognitive 
<br>archaeology, Tübingen), and Astrid Schwarz (Philosophy and Technoscience 
<br>Studies, Cottbus).
<br>
<br>The Summer School is open to advanced MA students, PhD candidates and 
<br>postdocs who can send expressions of interest and a short CV to 
<br>nordmann@phil.tu-darmstadt.de - there are no costs for participation in 
<br>the summer school, also accommodation and most meals will be covered. A 
<br>more detailed call for participation will be published within the next 2 
<br>months.
